How many of these have you tried?

[Alec Turner]

I don't want to call these "achievements" (because that implies a certain level of accomplishment and that you're somehow deficient if you haven't done them all), but I'm just curious. Which of the following things have you tried?

Use the poll to vote (you can tick multiple items) but feel free to comment and discuss as well.

I dare say I've forgotten a few things so perhaps people could chip in with one suggestion each of something else to try in the game.

Edit:

Here's a supplementary list collated from the posts in this thread (plus some others I thought of), apologies if I've omitted (or re-worded) any. I'm also going to put these into a secondary poll (and link it here) for those that want to continue ticking some things off while adding others to their TODO lists. Please don't list your achievements from this 2nd list here in this thread, just wait for the poll to appear.

Update: supplementary poll now available over here:

[Alec Turner]

Poll should be there now.

 

[Deleted member 110222]

Thing I'm proudest of is the Hutton run.

Might do it tonight.

 

[Lunchmoney]

Poll should be there now.

Have put my answers in it

 

[Alec Turner]

Incidentally, I don't know if simply voting will bump a thread back up the recent posts list but if people could comment (perhaps just to say you voted or perhaps to suggest one thing I've forgotten) then I'd appreciate it because I'm really curious to get some decent numbers on this. It's already pretty fascinating. I'm glad to see I haven't got 100% for any one answer, also fairly surprised to see that just over 50% of you (at time of writing) have deliberately killed another player You swine!

 

[Arubeto]

Very nice and inspiring poll, thanks Alec!

 

[Joghiarus]

Voted and reporting that as requested

Some interesting stats are building here ...

 

[Ste1623]

Great poll very good work

i know have a tick box for what i still need to do lol

 

[Knights of Nee]

Done about 50%,

Quite liked the opening fire inside a station and seeing how long you can survive for challenge.

Good one! Opening fire on a station. That's going on my TODO list!

 

[Lightspeed]

The most interesting poll I have seen [heart] .... voted.

Participated in a CG would be another (though I guess everyone has done at least one ?)

 

[Jukelo]

With the exception or running out of fuel or taking part in player events, all of it.

 

[Farmboy]

When you say 'asteroid mining' do you mean mining lumps of rock in planetary rings, or lumps of rocks in asteorid belts? I'd expect the response level if the former, rather than the latter.

I'm slightly bemused that so many have self destructed!

 

[superflyguy]

Great poll Alec.

There are now a couple of new things on my to do list now. Notwithstanding CQC and blowing up other players!

i guess a lot of people in the 'run out of fuel' line also feature in the 'self destructed' line. I know i have. Two call outs is enough, if i can't manage my fuel after those two episodes it's time to turn of life support and listen to the eerie gasping for breath as 00:00 approaches.

I guess I was thinking either (i.e. just getting kitted out with refinery, mining lasers, etc and going out there to actually have a try).
And I've just realised I ticked ice mining when I haven't actually tried that (indeed it was having stuff like that still on my TODO list that prompted me to start this poll in the first place). Doh!

I'm slightly bemused that so many have self destructed!

Personally only done it a couple of times. Once when I ran out of fuel (this was before the Fuel Rats were even a twinkle in Surly Badger's eye) and the other was when my SRV got well and truly stuck in a little hollow.

So go do it now

and you can quit and start non-Horizons, choosing to start in orbit to avoid that.

In my case I killed a CMDR in self defence. We were both hunting in a nav point and he decided to take me on (probably to claim a bounty I had elsewhere). I won that fight

Probably to clear fines/bounties.
